Theory – Non-Contact Radar Technology Radar FMCW Pulse • measuring the time t between the transmitted and the received pulse 2 d • Distance d is determined with: Propagation speed of EM-waves is equal to the velocity of light 3 HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL March 2009

Theory – Non-Contact Radar Technology Theory of Operation FMCW non-contact Radar Principle FMCW = Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave. FMCW-radar uses a high frequency signal (~ 24 GHz) which transmit frequency increasing linearly 2 GHz within approx. 7 ms during the measurement (frequency sweep). The signal is emitted, reflected on the product surface and received time-delayed. For further signal processing the difference Df is calculated from the actual transmit frequency and the receive frequency. The difference is directly proportional to the distance. The frequency difference is transformed via a Fourier transformation (FFT) into a frequency spectrum and then the distance is calculated from the spectrum. The level results from the difference between tank height and distance. 4 26 24 HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL March 2009

Theory – Non-Contact Radar Technology FMCW versus PULSE • Unlike FMCW, the pulseradar (PTOF) transmits only in very short bursts – With the same signal level a duty cycle of 1: 500 reduces the mean radiated power by a factor of 500 FMCW transmit-signal U 0. 1 V 0. 05 0 -0. 05 -0. 1 0 0. 5 1 1. 5 2 500. 5 501. 5 502 pulse transmit-signal U 0. 1 V 502. 5 t / ns 0. 05 0 -0. 05 -0. 10 0. 5 1 1. 5 2 500. 5 501 502. 5 t / ns – In the receiver the mechanisms of loosing signal amplitude are similar – The pulse-system is then less sensitive by a factor of 500 compared to a FMCW-system 6 HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL March 2009
